4:2:2:4 Digital Processing, 16:9 Wipe Patterns

The AG-MX70 provides high quality 4:2:2:4 digital

component signal processing, and wipe patterns

Serial Digital In/Out

Adding the optional AG-YA70 SDI Board gives the

AG-MX70 a 4-input/1-output serial digital component

interface (SMPTE 259M-C). This is ideal for configuring an

editing system with DVCPRO or other digital VTRs.

accommodates both 16:9 and 4:3 image production needs.

Large LCD Screen, Matrix Menu

A large LCD panel permits easy monitoring of system status.

A five-row matrix menu display with five rotary switches

makes it easy to understand and set the AG-MX70's

multitude of functions. The menu, which is linked to keys

on the operating panel, automatically switches to show the

necessary settings. This simplifies operation and

reduces steps.

8 Video Inputs

The AG-MX70 is ready for live multi-camera feeds, with a

total of eight analog composite inputs, or four analog

component Y/Pb/Pr or YC inputs and four SDI inputs.

Joy Stick Controller

The easy-to-handle joy stick lets you intuitively position or

size your effects, and select or adjust colors.

2D and 3D Video Effects

Equipped with over 600 2-dimensional effects -- including

transition and key patterns, mosaic, paint, trail, and multi-

image digital effects -- the versatile AG-MX70 has all it

takes to create professional production results. The optional

AG-VE70 3D Effects Board provides more than 1,600 3D

digital effects, including page turn, ripple, and sphere. The

2D and 3D effects can be combined to create sophisticated

image expressions that rival many high-end DVEs.

Roll, Crawl, and Logo Animation

MX-Navi makes it easy to download graphics files (TGA,

BMP, JPEG) created with the other graphics applications, via

a USB terminal. Downloads go to the internal graphics

buffer* for use in creating roll or crawl titles, logo

animation, and other effects.
